As they say, context is everything. Imagine a race where one candidate is consistently ahead by double digits only to stumble a week or so before the election down to a 7 point lead. You could say that the other candidate might be surging - that the momentum is moving in that candidate's direction.

But in this case we have something of the opposite - only 6 weeks or so ago Wagner was up by 7 and now it's Peduto's 7 point lead.

If there's momentum to be discussed, it's in Peduto's direction.
